Dean’s: Scotsman doing a ‘Marilyn’

Posted by Bert Callens on February 8, 2010 No comments yet

Whiskey is often drank by men. Women can’t always appreciate the strong taste and mostly they mix it with other drinks to make it softer.
But this particular whiskey, Deans, is especially mild and not only meant for the rugged guys.
This is proved by the print ad who shows a Scotsman whose skirt is blown up by a passing subway train. Now I wonder where he got that pose from?

Coca Cola: velcro posters

Posted by Sander Janssen on February 7, 2010 1 comment

A very good example of the endless possibilities of advertising at a bus stop. A couple of weeks ago we published a compilation of the most creative bus stop advertisements. This ad proves advertisers still manage to find new and innovative ways to use these bus stops. The only concerning thing about this campaign is the destructive effect, won’t it ruin some people’s clothes? It’s a risky idea, but really creative!

Lego: Periscope

Posted by Sander Janssen on February 6, 2010 No comments yet

This print ad for Lego won the grand prix at the 2006 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. At first it’s not really clear what the point of this ad is, but in fact it speaks to everyone’s imagination. With just a couple of Lego blocks a whole story can be created. The huge space also suggests the possibilities are endless when you work with Lego.
